Chapter 5: Rms Remote Monitoring System; Compass Rms Software - Meyer Sound LEO-M Operating Instructions Manual

CHAPTER 5: RMS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM

LEO-M includes an RMS remote monitoring system module,
allowing the loudspeaker to be connected to an RMS net-
work. RMS reports, in real time, the status and power usage
of multiple Meyer Sound loudspeakers from a Mac or Win-
dows-based computer. The RMS host computer communi-
cates with Meyer Sound loudspeakers (equipped with RMS
modules) via RMServer ™ , a compact, Ethernet-based hard-
ware unit with two FT-10 ports. RMServer stores system
configurations internally, eliminating most manual data entry.
Systems can be monitored from a computer at front-of-
house or backstage, or from a laptop anywhere within the
venue over WiFi.
NOTE: For the latest RMS system require-
ments, visit the Meyer Sound website 
(http://www.meyersound.com).
NOTE: LEO-M includes an internal Mute
Jumper that enables RMS mute and solo capa-
bility. The loudspeaker currently ships with the Mute
Jumper installed. Compass RMS also allows you to
disable Mute and Solo functions to eliminate any
possibility of accidentally muting loudspeakers.
NOTE: RMS does not control AC power.

COMPASS RMS SOFTWARE

Compass RMS ™ software provides extensive system status
and performance data for each loudspeaker, including
amplifier voltage, limiting activity, power output, fan and
driver status, as well as mute and solo capability. Loud-
speakers are added to the RMS network and assigned a
node name during a one-time discovery procedure. Once
loudspeakers are identified on the RMS network, they
appear in Compass RMS as icons that can be customized
to suit your needs.
Compass RMS Window
Individual loudspeakers can be physically identified with the
Wink option in RMS, which lights the Wink LED on the RMS
module for that particular loudspeaker. Conversely, a loud-
speaker can be identified in Compass RMS by pressing the
Identify button on the loudspeaker's RMS module.
Loudspeaker icons can be arranged in Compass RMS and
saved as pages to represent how the loudspeakers have
been deployed in the system. Multiple pages can be saved
and recalled for specific performances and venues.
